The surveillance camera on top of the Statue of Liberty captured a remarkable event as a rare 4.8 magnitude earthquake rattled New York City on Friday. The seismic activity, unusual for the region, shook millions of people from New York and Philadelphia skyscrapers to rural New England, causing no widespread damage but startling an area unaccustomed to tremors.
The earthquake’s epicentre was in Tewksbury in central New Jersey, about 64 kilometres west of New York City. It occurred just after 10:20 am ET (1420 GMT) at a depth of 4.7 kilometers, the US Geological Survey said.
